swimsuit issue
Oh, look. Asian models for Forever21's swimwear line! Exciting!But this chick has no waist. I don't know why that bothers me so much.I also doubt Forever21 swimwear would actually be swim-in-able.[EDIT: Wait. Not Asian? Part Asian? Aiyah. All look same.]
that's got to be uncomfortable
This is a little embarrassing, but right now I feel like...Sparkle and Yolks by Shelli Akers on flickr...my insides are made of glitter.I want shiny things, and a featherduster, and crystals.

symphony
“Thank you,” she insisted. Those were the next two words she ever said to me, and wow, I don’t know why but her voice went off in my head like a symphony. A great symphony. A sweet symphony. A great-fucking-sweet symphony. I don’t know what I’m saying. I know absolutely shit about symphonies. House of Leaves, Mark Z. Danielewski, via align, via finallyseeing
rainy days and mondays...
...always get me down.This is an open letter to those special people who contributed to my rainy Monday morning.To the girl on BART who was almost hugging the pole by the door despite the train being so crowded it kind of looked like the Japanese fail train, you don't need an entire pole to yourself. You are not a stripper, or if you are, you don't need to practice on crowded public transportation. Strippers, in fact, don't even need entire poles to themselves. They can share. Sharing is caring. Taking an entire pole for yourself is not. Especially when there are two really short girls

LISD
When a lady is wearing short-shorts, a lady's jacket should either be considerably longer or considerably shorter so as to avoid seeming to suggest that said lady is wearing nothing underneath said jacket.However, in the event that a lady finds herself wearing short-shorts and her sole rain jacket, and in the event that it is raining, she must follow the Least Inseam Scandal Deflector (LISD).

My lack of foresight led me to conclude that when UK bloggers were talking about "revising" for finals, they were editing and rewriting. I thought to myself, "I'm glad I'm not in the UK. Sounds like they have to write a lot of papers. I wonder what kind of revising you do for math papers..."And then I read that interview with Dev Patel (whilst on a Slumdog Millionaire high because I only just watched it, as Sunshine and my plan to watch Coraline in 3-D was thwarted by small children and a sold-out show) talking about how his mom told him he could revise for his science exam on the train go
monotony is pretty
All I've been drinking this past week.Temptation to stain a lot of stationery with tea. Then again, I have little use for stationery, as the last letter I intended to send has been sitting in my desk since January.

counting is easy
Because my idea of (ahem) a bomb diggity Friday is one that involves frolicking down the aisles of Whole Foods while discussing zombie games, High School Musical 3 for the Wii, relatives and little cousins, my nine-year-old cousin playing DJ on YouTube (and playing in succession "I'm Yours," "You and Me," and "I Kissed A Girl"), Indian food, Coldstone's strawberry ice cream cake, Spongebob books,

I'm feeling a little Veronicas lately.P. S. This whole Early To Bed, Early To Rise thing is working out really well for me. This semester is infinitely better than the last.
